- 50New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufNew Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufMoves in fits and starts, with some crafty and credible fight choreography by Xin Xin Xiong on either side of the pretty but boring middle hour.
- 50USA TodayMike ClarkUSA TodayMike ClarkIf this is Dumas, there's a "b" in the middle and an extra "s" at the end.
- 50VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonA handsome but ho-hum swashbuckler that springs to life only during a few spirited scenes of acrobatic swordplay.
- 50Miami HeraldCharles SavageMiami HeraldCharles SavageIts failure to be extraordinary is thus all the more cutting, and its redundancy all the more unforgivable.
- 38Boston GlobeJay CarrBoston GlobeJay CarrThe images are pretty, and Gene Quintano's screenplay gets everybody from point A to point B, though with no discernible knack for wit or subtlety.
- 30Village VoiceAmy TaubinVillage VoiceAmy TaubinEast/West fusion aside, The Musketeer is a stale Euro-pudding.
- 25San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamSan Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamThe movie lacks the one thing that the classic "Three Musketeers" story can't do without: panache.
- 25Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaWhat a stupefying thing it is.
- 10SalonCharles TaylorSalonCharles TaylorThere isn't a frame of The Musketeer that's believable even as a Hollywood re-creation of a fantasy world. It's conventionally picturesque, except in the nighttime and interior scenes, which are dark to the point of glaucoma.
